A Hasty Post

 - Technical issues, don't you know.  Our internet service here at The Citadel is being hideously unpredictable, crashing or dropping out every 20 minutes or so.  Curse modern technology!

A New Hopeful Beginning*
    New team manager arrived at work today, to be introduced by one of the existing team managers.
     Up quoth I.  "Are you providing her with thumbnail sketches of her new staff?"
     Current team manager looks blank.
     "No."
     "Oh! Er - forget I spoke ..."
     Doubtless our new team manager was provided with nifty little guides as to whom to keep an eye on, who cannot be trusted with money, who spends far too long in the toilets, etcetera.  Sorry fellow team members!

The Weasels of Evils
     Or, our cats, Jenny and Beej.  Of late they have been slaughtering a swathe through the local rodent population.  Thinning the herd, you might say, by picking off the stupid or slow mice, shrews and small birds daft enough to roost on the ground.
     How do we know this is happening?  because this cat-kill turns up on our doorstep, literally, small rended corpses smothered with flies, as if to say "See?  See how much we love you, that we give up our prey?"
     Sad Cat was not available for comment.

End Of Watch
     A cop film, yes, but better than 95% of the other cop films out there.  Jake Gyllenhal is great in shaven-head mode, and Michael Pena is a small bundle of attitude and energy.  At present only 65 minutes into it, but once BOOJUM! is done, back to watching End Of Watching.

Got to go post whilst connection still there -



*  Yes, it is a Star Wars reference.
